My Students

Our school strives to have each child feel loved, cared for, and important. We are inspired to provide a learning environment that is supportive and encouraging of all students and their capabilities. Each and every day our goal is to motivate the students to do their best, encourage laughter in the classroom and make learning fun!

Our students are loved and supported when they are at school and we work to provide them with a safe and comfortable environment for learning.

Our students truly appreciate when others donate materials and believe in them. Thank you in advance.

My Project

I would like to thank you for your consideration in supporting my classroom. In the past few years I have used what we call "Soft Start Bins" to begin the day for students. Students enter the classroom and eat their breakfast. As students finished eating, they chose a "Soft Start Bin" to challenge their brains, build their creativity, and make learning fun. This is a time they thoroughly enjoy! With the current situation of the pandemic, I will need to add a bin for each student to have individually rather than sharing with a peer or small group. I must add these bins in order to follow protocol and safety guidelines to prevent the spread of the virus. After each use the tools will be sanitized and made ready for the next student's learning the following day. I am hoping with your generosity I will be able to continue this part of the day that is not only effective to the students' learning but also a time that motivates them and starts their day in a fun way!
